Even as many commercial bluegrass bands in the 1970s were being influenced by Nashville or folk rock sounds, the Virginia Mountain Boys stuck to the traditional bluegrass sounds that were pioneered decades earlier. Eschewing the Dobro favored by other bands of the time, for example, the band's sound relies heavily on the simple banjo picking and hard-driving rhythm of traditional Appalachian mountain music. Glen Neaves leads with lonesome, bittersweet singing and fiddle playing inspired by G. B. Grayson, a traditional mountain fiddler from North Carolina. Liner notes include full song lyrics and brief performer profiles with photos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Don't Go Out Tonight My Darlin' \u003cbr\u003e1.2 What a Friend We Have in Mother \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Fortune \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Careless Love \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Poor Ellen Smith \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Nigger Trader \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Someday We'll Meet Again Sweetheart \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Barbara Allen \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Two Dollar Bill \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Drunkard's Dream - Drunkard's Lament \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Drinkin' from the Fountain \u003cbr\u003e1.12 On the Banks of Old Tennessee \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Man of Constant Sorrow \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Hangman Song \u003cbr\u003e1.15 When the Roses Bloom Again \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Cripple Creek\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Virginia Mountain Boys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32432380444743,"sku":"16939110","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1505233.jpg?v=1747734787","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/virginia-mountain-boys-country-bluegrass","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
